Nutanix is breaking records to become the fastest growing software infrastructure startup in the last decade and we’re expanding our team of world-class programmers to architect, design, test, and implement our revolutionary high-performance, fault-tolerant, super-scalable compute and storage infrastructure for enterprise-class virtualization. Building on architectural techniques employed in core infrastructure systems at Google (the CTO/co-founder was the technical lead on GFS, the distributed filesystem that houses all of Google's data), our converged virtualization product can scale to manage petabytes of data while running thousands of virtual machines and aims to disrupt the multi-billion dollar virtualization industry – eliminating the need for network and SAN storage.

Nutanix’s engineers are creating a revolutionary technology, building the software defined data center. Using our love of programming and outstanding backgrounds to change the way companies virtualize their data center. At Nutanix, we find no shortage of challenging problems to work on - changing the world is after all never easy! We work closely with our product in a collegiate, collaborative environment that encourages the open exploration of ideas.
